A master of deception, he selects his victims at random. Or so it seems. But as Phillips investigates, she begins to see a method in the killer's madness. Perhaps these victims aren't random at all . . . As the pressure mounts, can Phillips find the link between these ritual murders before the killer strikes again--or will her dogged determination to solve the case bring his deadly silence to her door?
